Americans are slowly losing their religion, according to an annual poll released Thursday.
The number of adults who do not affiliate with any faith has increased over time, to 19.6 percent — up from 14.6 percent in 2008, Gallup pollsters found.
The United States remains a majority-Christian nation, with 75.2 percent of American adults identifying themselves as Protestant, Catholic, Mormon or of nondenominational Christian faith, according to the poll.
Back in 2008, 80.1 percent of Americans said they considered themselves Christian.
That figure has been slowly declining since then — to 80 percent in 2009, 79.1 percent in 2010, 77.9 percent in 2011, 77.3 percent in 2012, 76.8 percent in 2013 and 75.7 percent last year.
Not surprisingly, older Americans are the ones most likely to call themselves Christians.
Every age group from 50-to-54 and up registered at least 81 percent as self-identified Christian.
But it goes down from there, with the 45-to-49 set at 79 percent Christian, 40-44 at 74 percent, 35-39 at 71 percent, 30-34 at 67 percent, 25-29 at 62 percent and 18-24 at 62 percent.

These projections, which take into account demographic factors such as fertility, age composition and life expectancy, forecast that people with no religion will make up about 13% of the world’s population in 2050, down from roughly 16% as of 2010.

This is largely attributable to the fact that religious “nones” are, on average, older and have fewer children than people who are affiliated with a religion. In 2010, for instance, 28% of people who belong to any of the world’s religions were younger than 15 years old, compared with just 19% of the unaffiliated. And adherents of religions are estimated to give birth to an average of 2.6 children per woman, compared with an average of 1.7 children among the unaffiliated.

People like Trump, and basically most of the GOP presidential field, often cite the need to protect American culture from immigrants who might change it. Now, I personally think that it's enough with the immigrants and the refugees, but look around, there is no "American" culture; our "kulture" is just a polyglot mix mash of Kardashians and Caitlyn Jenners and slovenly glorification of death and violence. Perhaps people in America are losing their religiosity because American religions (particularly Christian denominations) worship the god of war rather than the Prince of Peace.
